TYPE-WRITING- MACHINE.

Application filed November 11, 1911.

' invention is to provide novel and improved mechanism of the character specified.

ore specifically my invention relates to improvements. on the construction shown in my prior Patent No. 1,052,022, granted Feb. 4. 1913. In the prior construction aforesaid the tally feed roll and the tally clamp are mounted at opposite ends of a vibratory or rocking frame, which frame is automatically controlled sogthat the .feed roll is moved into operative relationship with the tally strip when the tally strip is brought into the printing field during endwise movements of the platen. the clamp concurrently releasing --the tally strip. There was in the prior construction an'intermediate position in 'the'movement of the vibratory frame when neither the clamp nor the feed roller was operative on the tally strip and as the receiving tally spool or holder was under constant tension the re sult was a. tendency to advance the tally strip when the frame was in this intermediate position and a consequent irregular line spacing movement of the tally strip. To remedy this defect I have provided a clamping device forthe tally strip which is automatically controlled separately from the tally feed roll. Also various changes have been made for the purpose of modifying and improving in other respects the prior construction.

To the above and other ends my invention consists in the features of construction. combinations of devices and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and particu larly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanyingdrawings which illustrate one form of my invention. applied. to a Monarch typewriting machine, Figure 1 is a fragn'ientary front elevation of the up per part of a Monarch typewriter embodying my invention.

In various views parts are omitted and parts are broken away. Also the escapement mechanism, printing instrumentalities and various other parts of the machine are omitted from the drawings, .but,are, or-may be, of the ordinary construction found the Monarch typewriter .It is further to be understood that while Ihavepreferreil to show my invention applied tofa Monarch machine, yet, nevertheless, the pririciple'ls'v of the invention are. applicable to other styles of writing-machines. V

As appears in Figs.;1 and 3 the main frame of the machine comprises posts 1 sup?" porting a top plate 2 from which rise stand ards 3 secured'whereto arefixed track ways & grooved'to receive anti-friction rollers which also cooperate with'a grooved slide or rear car- 6 comprised in a platen carriage or carrier which furtherincludes end bars 7 and 8. Aplaten axle 9 is journaled on the end bars and carries a platen f10 providedwith. a line spacing'ratchetwheel'll with which cooperates. a line spacing pawl 12 controlled by a handle'or lever :13. Co-

10 is a. fragmentary front v with the platen to the left of the narrow work-sheet or tally strip hereinafter descgabed through openings in a main paper deflector (not shown), said deflector terminating at the rear below a paper table 19.v

The feed rollers 14 and 16 are adapted to be released by devices comprising a rock shaft provided with lugs 21 which cooperate with projections 22 on the arms 15, throwing said arms downward andreleasing the main feed roller,.the lower ends of the arms acting in turn to swing the arm 17 downward to release the. feed roller 16. -Means for rockingthe shaft for releasing purposes are best shown in Figs. 1, '7 and 8 and comprise a crank arm 23 secured to the left end of the rock shaft and pivotally connected with an arm ,24 provided with a finger piece 25, said arm 24 being pivotally connected with an arm 26 pivoted at 27 to the end bar 7. The arms 24 and 26 con- I stitute toggle elements which normally are in the relationshipshown in Fig. 7. When the finger piece is pulled forward as in Fig.' 8, the toggle elements are straightened and'the rock shaft 20.is turned to release the. feed rollers 14, 16 and is locked to maintain said feed rollers in released position as in Fig.

I The mechanism as thus far described is common to the Monarch typewriter.

The right-hand platen headis in the present instance sunk flush with the end of the platen and is provided with an elongated hub 28 which abuts against a boss 8 on the end bar' 8'and is screwed or otherwise secured to the platen axle 9. The end bars 7 and 8 ofthe platen carrier support a rod or bar 29 which extends lengthwise of the platen above the'same, corresponding to the usual paper finger rod. 1 The rod 29 assists tosupporta detachable tally strip supporting frame'comprising a side plate 30 having a hub 31 which fits over the rod 29 and is secured thereto by a removable pin 32. The lower portion of the plate 30 is provided with a hole which receives the hub 28, permitting the plate 30 to be contiguous to the right-hand end of the platen. Besides the plate '30 the frame further includes aside plate 33 spaced leftward from the plate 30 and connected thereto by cross rods 34 and 35. g The frame comprisingthe plates .30 and 33 and the connecting rods 34 and 35 constitutes in effect a single member detachably supported on the platen carrier near the right-hand end of the platen so that the tally strip 36 carried by the tally strip frame may be fed around theright-hand end of the platen. Said tally strip is wound in a roll as indicated at 37, and the roll is 30 and extending downward and forward,

curving around the rear and under sides of the platen and terminating at the front side of the platen somewhat below the printing point. The guide plate is arranged between both the paper table 19 and also a paper apron 40 which is hung or suspended loosely from the rock shaft 20 by clips 40 (Fig. 4). Said apron curves around the platen and the guide 39 and terminates at the front of the platen just below the guide 39, the forward end of said apron resting normally on the bottom edge of a cut-out 41 formed at the right-hand end portion of the usual scale plate 42. The apron 40 is preferably a section separate from the body of the usual or main paper apron (not shown) which extends lengthwise of the platen and-is spring pressed toward the same. The guide plate 39 cooperateswith the paper table and paper apron to provide a slot, passage way or channel 43 through which the tally strip passes and by which it is guided around the platen, the guide plate 39 being interposed between the tally strip and the platen and holding the tally strip away from the platen until the tally strip approaches the printing point. The inner face of the tally strip 36 is preferably carbonized in two longitudinal fields, the left-hand being black carbon and the righthand red. The guide 39 prevents the carbonized surface from off-setting on the hilly sheet which underlies the tally strip but is separated therefrom by the guide 39, said bill sheet indicated in Fig. 4 by the numeral 44, passing between the platen and said guide. Furthermore. where the bill sheet is frequently inserted and. removed from the machine in the course of being filled in, the guide 39 protects the sheet and also prevents it from being interfered with by the tally the upper edge portion of the guide plate 39. The Work sheet passes upward behind the fingers 48 and guide 45 while the tally strip overlies said fingers and the guide. Inother words, the guide and 'fingers are interposed between the work sheet and the tally strip and with the guide plate 39 maintain or hold the tally strip away from .theplaten surface throughout 1ts course around the platen. The guide plate 45, fingers 418 and the guide plate 39 provide an opening through which the types openings in the side plates and 3-0. The

from the tube. 4-9.

right-hand reduced portion is provided with a. crank 53 by which the shaft maybe turned. A coiled spring 5i surrounds the shaft 51 within the tube 49, one end of said spring-being fixed to-the shaft and the other end to the head 50; the spring tending eonstantly to turn the receiving holder so as to 'wind the tally strip thereon. The inner end of the tally strip is secured to the tube H -19 by aspring clip 55 shown detached in Fig. 11 and attached in Fig. 1, said spring clip being "provided with a finger piece 54" b v which it may be removed or detached Confined between the crank 53' and the outer face of the plate 30 is a ratchet wheel 57 provided with a slot 58 which. is engaged by a pin 59 on the end 52, the construction maintaining the ratchet wheel against turning movement relative to the shaft 51.. A gravity pawl 60 (Fig. bl' prevents the ratchet wheel from turning backward under the action of the spring 54 and the consequent weakening of said spring. By turning the handle of the crank 53 the tension of the spring 54 may be increased; The spring is regulated to take up the slack in the tally strip and so that as the tall v strip lSlK vanced or line spaced it will be correspondingly wound on the re-' ceiving roll. The device may also be employed as a severing dewlce to cut the tally strip at suital'ile. intervals. To use the dcvicc in .tnls way the wound portion of the tally strip is loosened from the receiving rollaud the device is removed therefrom and then replaced outside the tally strip and near the place where the tally strip is to be severerh Then by drawing the tall strip against the straight edge 55 it Ina he 'readilv cut oil. It wil be ll1i(l01- i 10(l that the severed portioncontains items which are written on the outer face of the tall y str p through the regular ribbon of the machine. The loose, newly severed end of the tally strip may be secured to the core' l9 by the spring clip 55 before a new series 'of pl'llllilflg operations s begun.

- In my prior construction means are provided which cooperate with the platen to feed the tall strip when the platen is turned at such times as the tally strip is within the printing field; Said means includesa pressure roll 61 (Fig. 10) mount ed on a sleeve 6:2 bearing on a-rod 63 which is comprised in a rocking frame that further includes parallel plates or levers 6-1. the lower ends whereof are connected by and carry the rod'63. The upper arms of the levers 64- carry a cross r0d65 on which xi-331$ a sleeve 66. said sleeve as shown clearly in Fig. 5 being provided with a plate 67 which with the sleeve 66 supports a triangular sheath 68 of rubber or the like which comprises with the plate 67 and the sleeve (36 a pivoted clamp cotiperative with the-clamping device or plate 45 to clamp the tally strip. The operative face of the clamp bi l-68 is flat and inclines slightly to the relatively fixed part or coiiperative clampmg face lil WhQIl the clamp is released, due

' to co-action with the cross rodfgl; but when the movement of .the swinging-frame on which said clamp IS mounted brings it into engagement with the relatively 'fixed part --'l5, said clamp swivels or turns on its pivot 65 until it fully engages with 'the face of the part-45 asshown in Fi The levers 64 are suitably secured to the reduced end portions of a sleeve 69.-which sleeve in turn is' secured by a screw 69' to a fulcrum rod 70. the left end of said fulcrum rod being supported on a socket'picce 71 secured to the frame plate (Fig. 10') while the right end of said fulcrum rod bears in the plate 30. the fulcrum rod servingas a rock shaft for the rocking frame- A 'spring 72 is wound around the cross rod 35 and tends constantlvto maintain the rocking frame with the clamp in operative position against the plate 45 and the pressure roll 61 released or separated from the platen. B rockingtheshaft T0 the clamping element 68 may, be thrown oil and the pressure roll concur rentlv thrown on. Automatic means for thus rocking the shaft comprise a crank arm H secured to the right-hand outer end ofthe shaft and overlying a nose 75 on the forwardly extending arm of 'a lover T6 fulcru'ined at T7 onthc plate 3 the lower arm of said lever extending downward outside said plate and terminating in a horizontal car 78 which carries a roller 79 (Fig. 3). slot 76 in the lower arm'of the lever 76 cooperates with a guide screw 'l fixed to the plate 30 to guide the lever during swinging moi-rumors The roller 79 is adapted. to 00- l ce of the. guide 1p 36 pasfes dmvnwir 'etween it and the herent to clamping viffh 'L h 1d :1 ween th the rem" u'i le plate and b and the in 1.: gainst 111m t: H3. sai:

Sheet above the printing line and at he platen, said. additional deivices comprising apaper finger 96 provided wit-hears 9" which slidablyengage a rock shaft 98. Said-paper finger extends downward. and forward over-the platen and is maintained in engagementtherewith by a 1eafs'prin-g'99 which. may engage a feather 100 0n,.the rock shaft 08, the-ears 97' being 101 which receivesaid is arranged above the platen and extends lengthwise thereof. the left-hand end' of said s aft bearing in an arm 102 fixed to Q orw'ard from the rod 29 while the right-hand :end of said rock shaft,

as shown in Figs-I1 and 10',' bears in the eft-hand end socketpiece 71. Fixed to the of the rock shaft outside the support 10? is acrank arm 103 which extends downward and rearward. andxis. connected by a link 10 1- with a-crank arm 105 projecting upward from the rock shaft '20. The crank arms'103 and 105 and the link' 104=' provide a connection between the rock shaft 20 and the rock shaft 98, such that when the finger, piece '25 is pulled forward to release the fe'ed'rollers-l-l and 16. it will'al'so operate to rock the shaft and swing the paper finger 96 aw. y from the platen from'the Fig. 7 to the Fig. position. In order that clearthe platen surface and provide a free and .unobstructed passage all the way around the, platen. l. provide; for throwing off the usual card clamp 106 by the paper finger'96. Said card clamp has a fixed plvot' 107 on themachine frame and is spring pressed toward the platen so that its upper edge portions 108 normally press against the platen or the paper ther on; but the paper lingenm is adapted to. slide underneath. these edge portions during endwise mo\'ements'of the platen and when said paper iinger lll'ldttl'll. said edge portions. as'shown in Figs. 1 and 7. the will be effective to overcome the spring-109 of the card clamp and to swing said clamp on its pivot 107 away from the platen to ihe'l ic'.

moved from the machine atw'vill without interfering with the tally; strip which is superposed on the right-hand portion of 'the mainwork sheet when the latter is in position toreceive type impressions. Said main work sheetmay be advanced from line to line without interfering with the tally strip. or moving the latter so'long as the hen the tally strip is brought opposite theprinting point and types are operated, the impres ions through the usual inked ribbon will be made on the. tally strip and transmitted from the carboned back of said strip to the main' work sheet, so that the impressions will be duplicated on the tally strip and .the main work sheet at a single operation. These duplicate impressions are usually otals relative to items which are specified on the left-hand edge portion-of the main work sheet outside the field of the tally strip. j The tally strip thus at fords a check on the bill or items on the main work sheet. The use of the present invent-ion insures that the-iten1s on the tally strip will be in condensed form since the tallystrip is automatically advanced when other times. during the writing on the bill sheet at the leftof thetally strip,-line spacing operations of the bill sheet will not affeet the tally strip.

It will be noted that by my present invention Iprovide a platen in combination with a plurality of paper controlling de; L
